How come a big chunk of the engine mods say they're for 86-93? Specifically, and Edelbrock Performer intake I found on Craigslist. Will it work on my 95? If not, what's the differences, and how have you guys got around it?

The 94/95 intakes are curved. you would need a intake manifold elbow adapter to use your stock throttle body or you can just do a fox conversion.

Adam pretty much answered it. There are many threads on here as far as how to to do a foxbody conversion, there are a few other things you have to do to make it work but its not that bad. The cheaper easier way is just to buy the elbow adaptor. The Cobra intake is the only one that comes w/ the bend already build into the intake, the rest of them you have to buy the elbow

Don't forget the valve cover clearance for the EGR if you still have it hooked up. You may need to grind a little for some applications.

They are heavier but I just looked up the 2003 cobra for example and it is 500 # heavier than our cars!

Well if you really wanna get down to it.... Out cars are heavier. especially the verts. Our cars have 5 lugs stock foxes only 4. Our t-5 transmissions nave a 5/8'' longer input shafts then the foxes so for tko/other trans swaps you need a drive shaft spacer. We have the room for bigger tires out back. to keep egr stuff with fox intakes swap you will need a 3/8 spacer on your intake as well. Our interiors are much better IMO. The 94/95 computer doesent learn like the foxes computer and dosent respond to HCI swaps really well without being tuned. Our timing cover as well as transmission bellhousing are different as well as accessories (pumps pulleys etc) There are more things but these are probably the most important.
